I agree robertc. I have the first two CDs of that Pogues "B-sides and rarities" series (I think there are eight in all.), and the version of "Rainy Night in Soho" on the first one definitely has the whistle much more prominent in the mix than the RS&L reissue. The Hell's Ditch reissue has the Steve Lillywhite remix, which is more polished still. I haven't spun the Poguetry in Motion EP in a while, but I imagine the version on my B-sides and rarities CD is the one on the record, or at least the closest approximation of it.

Check the Official music FAQ, there is some info from Philip regarding the topic. Kiss My Arse: The Story Of the Pogues book by Carol Clerk gives more insight into the subject too. (And it is a great read.) :)

Rainy Night in Soho - versions

What's the story about different versions of this song?

I have the CD of just the EP and it's diff from the newer Rum Sodomy CD. The newer CD version has more horns and the older has more whistle. Are they just different mixes with the same vocals?

Thank You. Mr. Chevron.

I hadalmost of your CDs, but I bought them all again with the extra tracks.

By the way, you wrote my favorite song: Thousands Are Sailing. And please come to play again in Portugal. And would like a lot to see you where I live: Ponta Delgada, in Azores Islands.

Greetings.

Luís
